this is 3 inch djm coils(which only lowered an inch. then 2 inch control arms, hanger and shackle kit which totaled 4 inches. then 2 in blocks on one side and 1 3/8 inch blocks on the other to level it out. 18 inch wheels and 255/45 tires.

i think i spent about 700-800. but i'm not sure. the front was easy if you have some basic idea what you are doing. the back sucks. you have to get out 16 rivets. if u have a torch it would be better but i used an air chisel. it took alot of work

Damn LowDaksport, we both have some good taste. Your truck looks alot like mine! (and very nice by the way) My truck looks like the same exact drop, but i did it the cheaper way. I also have 18s with 235/50 tires which are about the same. And if I'm right, you have American Racing Pirrhanas; I have AR Nooz. But I dropped mine with 3" coils with 1/2 a coil cut off, and in back i have 4" blocks and a leaf taken out. Cost a little over $300. I like how u leveled out the back, but where the hell did you get 1 3/8 inch blocks??! Also, did u c notch it?
Here's a pic of my truck (sorry about all the others, it's my club. mine's about halfway down:

i had to get the blocks machined down by my dads friend. i don't have a c notch. i have yet to hit the bumpstos in the back. i used the very thin djm bumpstops. ufdakota yours is lookin sweet too. i was wondering how would i go about starting a mentor ohio chapter of digital wheels. i want a big club that everyone gets to know. i have a few trucks and tons of cars that would join mabey. i'm not sure about the dues. i don't think anyone will be for that. we just want a free club for chillin with other car guys

Lowdak, I don't know about the digitalwheels thing, my club is Vertigo and we got on the digital wheels website because we know the guy and he came and took pics of us and put em on there. sorry. But if you're looking for a big club, try Twisted Concepts (they've got a BADASS body-dropped kota), Severed Ties, or Negative Camber. They're all over the US.
